Qalqalah Wedding

Asking for Certainty

In the morning, Qiya rearranged her shar'i clothes into a different closet with different rooms. Hika forbids him to sleep in the room.

Suddenly the door of her room opened and Hika appeared from behind the door.

"Yes, Bun. Mother just calm down, I'm the same Qiya again trying to introduce our respective personalities," said Hika to her mother by phone.

"Alhamdulillaah then. Mother was happy to hear it. So where's her Qiya?"

"Here, Bun." Hika handed her phone to Qiya. "Mother wants to talk."

Qiya received the phone from Hika's hand. The gaze that was given by Hika made Qiya demanded not to talk about the actual situation.

"Hello, Bun. Mother how are you?" qiya greeting her mother Hika, her name is Yasmin.

"Alhamdulillaah . good mother. What are you, Hika is good with you?"

From the deliberate voice of Hika loadspeaker, of course the man could hear what his mother asked Qiya. Qiya gave a quick glance at her husband, before finally answering her question.

"Good, Bun. Hika is good with me. Mother was calm," Qiya replied as she looked at her husband.

"Thank God then. You guys don't have any honeymoon plans yet?"

Being asked that question, Hika immediately took over her phone from Qiya's hand.

"Bun, it's a long time ago, yes. It just so happens that I'm the same Qiya wants breakfast. We'll just keep it together again."

"Oh, so. Yeah, it's okay. Aramou'aikum .."

"Greetings .."

Hika hung up her phone call. After that it moved from Qiya's room, but Qiya's sentence managed to stop Hika's footsteps who were already in the doorway.

"Why should you lie, mom?"

Hika turned her body, looking at the woman who was now his wife.

"Keep you think I'm gonna tell you the truth?" ask Hika.

"If you believe that Zahira is worthy of being your wife, why don't you reject our matchmaking by convincing Zahira to be your mother? Why don't you do it, mom?"

"I said I can't dispute your request. Why don't you just refuse? With you refusing, this marriage will definitely never happen and should be my current wife Zahira, not you!"

The clear liquid again fertilized and pooled in Qiya's eye pelup. It was too painful every time I heard a word coming out of Hika's mouth.

"Why silence? Because you deliberately took advantage of this state of affairs right ?!!" hika exclaimed making Qiya's body jerk at him.

The clear white liquid had now escaped through the bulwark of Qiya's eye cracker defense.

"Enough, Qiya! No drama and no need to feel the most hurt here! Because the one who hurt the most here was not you, but this marriage that separated me from the one I loved for almost two years. Two years, Qiya!"

Hika deliberately emphasized the end of her sentence, it certainly made Qiya more wrong in Hika's eyes.

"Why are you so much like me, Mas Hika? Why?" qiya said among Isak his tears.

***

Hika parked her car in the parking lot of a regular park where she met Zahira. Earlier this morning he got a short message from Zahira, if the woman asked him to meet there.

From a distance, Hika smiled when she saw her lover waiting for her there. Under a shady tree and on a white iron bench fit for two Zahira people to sit there.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Za .." said Hika, Zahira turned his head.

"Walaikumussalam, Ka," Zahira replied with a sweet smile welcoming Hika's arrival.

"Have you waited a long time?"

"No, really. Just five minutes."

"Oh."

Hika also sat beside Zahira with a distance of two fingers. He looked at Zahira's face as if she was holding something.

"Why, Za?"

"Hm?" Zahira. "No, Ka. It's okay."

"Keep, how did the tumben invite me to meet? Usually if you meet kayak gini, there must be something important."

Zahira nodded her head. "Yes, Ka. There's something I need to tell you."

"What?" ask Hika curiously.

Both of their faces turned serious, especially Zahira looked so unpleasant as to convey something.

"So gini, Ka. We've been dating for almost two years. Because last night Abi did not like if you play until late, so Abi asked me to ask for certainty with you," said Zahira while squeezing his cool fingers.

"meaning?"

"I mean, if you're really serious about me, Abi wants us to immediately perform our longest service, which is marriage," Zahira explained.

Deg.

Instantly, Hika's body stiffened. Zahira doesn't know what's happening to her right now.

"Why all of a sudden, Za?"

"It's not sudden, Ka. Actually it has been far from the day Abi nanyain certainty of our relationship. Just I still want to see your seriousness, Ka. And now, I think it's a good time for me to get certainty from you."

Hika fell silent, she could not give any answer to Zahira.
